Seems to me that actual gamers are the ones hyping this game up into something it may not be. Sony have done a good job keeping it fairly mysterious & showing it in interesting ways. The whole footage being scored by that band from PSX is a great inventive new way to showcase an exploration heavy game like this one. I personally think this will be more of an 'experience' type game like Journey, not necessarily mechanically technical, but one of those game...
Yup….and a "sparse" Sony lineup has still historically been better than the most dense competitors lineup, 2014 notwithstanding. He was solely referring to the Holiday releases also, which means pretty much nothing for E3 terms other than maybe not many surprise reveals released in time for the Holidays. 2016 & beyond will most definitely be on showcase at E3 though so there's definitely going to be plenty to get excited for, w/ enough left over for 2 more major showings at ...
Yup, Rhianna Pratchett & I'm sure she'll bring the same level of "quality". People talk about the game itself aping Uncharted's style, but the story is the most obvious poor man's version of that series, only w/o the heart & soul that Amy Hennig's scripts had. The game itself was good fun but I couldn't name a single ancillary character or even recall much of anything about the plot, other than some sun god garbage and some big dude. She's likely ...
Does this mean no more front tuck? Say it ain't so!
Yup, you hit the nail on the head. It's crazy to me that more people don't recognize what you just said for the truth. History is important in these kinds of deals. If people are going w/ the narrative that MS just wants to move Xboxes before an eventual PC release, they would be shouting about full exclusivity to the Xbox from the beginning, because they don't have to worry about the Windows platform getting mad at the Xbox division because they lied about its status, because the...
There's no real evidence here...the proof is in the the recent history of Xbox titles. Sure, Spencer compared this deal to Ryse & DR3 but he obviously did that as a spin tactic, because he knew Xbox fans would automatically spread the word that it won't hit PS4, just like those titles. One thing ALL of those folks seem to be missing out on though: if this situation were anything like that one, wouldn't MS be calling Rise of the Tomb Raider a full exclusive that'll never hi...
"Now I do agree that console exclusivity regardless is painful to us gamers"
"Because if xbox fans don't get Street Fighter, the PS fans don't get Tomb Raider."
Those statements are pretty contradictory…so Sony gamers need to be punished because they got a different game in a completely different category as an exclusive? What about Sunset Overdrive? I'd have loved to play that as an Insomniac fan, but I understand the logic be...
Throw that shame at Warner Bros….Rocksteady most likely had no involvement in the actual business of the content, but they obviously go to painstaking lengths to legitimize WB's business decision by at least making the content they are forced to do worthwhile. Look at Arkham Asylum, during that time WB was basically just throwing RS & fans a bone by letting it be developed, but as soon as they saw what a cash cow the franchise could be, here comes the pre order incentives for City, th...
Haven't seen a single frame of gameplay yet. Hopefully that'll mean that we will get footage that is actually indicative of the final product instead of another downgrade deal…but the multiple cg trailers are kinda pointless in my eyes, and it leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth as one of my pet peeves are games that use cg cutscenes in the age of in engine cinematics. The bookend cg cutscenes for Tomb Raider were pretty jarring & they were basically copy pasted from the comme...
Was the third party leak you're referring to a rumor or has it been confirmed or alluded to by anyone at MS? We know the penchant for hyperbole some of these leakers have, it's typically not nearly as big a deal as they claim or its completely fabricated.
Maybe if you expect second & third party exclusive stuff, that kind of thing is anyone's guess…but strictly going off of unknown first party dev stuff Sony has more than either. I'd say they may have more surprises than Nintendo but I think they will focus in on their Holiday lineup as there are a good deal of games to cover there, touch on 2016 titles, announce the Gears remaster, & potentially Rare's title. Maybe Twisted Pixel too but going off of the quality of LocoCycl...
It beat the Division all to hell for me as soon as he said there'd be singleplayer....definitely be keepin my eyes peeled for this en
That's true but none of those inventions happened overnight. It was all about numerous iterations & most importantly, time. Cloud is still in its infancy when you think about how long its actually been properly utilized. Look at 3d, that tech has been around since the 50s & it only got fully realized a few years back. Same w/ VR, people have been trying to crack that nut for years. I don't think MS will touch on the cloud all that much at E3, thats a longterm solution by their...
It'll be just as fun on foot I'd suspect, street level where we will get to see all of those cool fan nods & easter eggs that were missing from Origins in regards to the rest of Gotham City. They've said that the focus would be no different from City, where ever corner you turned fans could visit crime alley or see Maxie Zeus' building or find secret Scarecrow hideouts or nods to Killer Croc. Hopefully those statements from the devs ring true.
Totally agree…he also had the "concern" that Arkham Knight utilized some of the same open world locations as Arkham City…as if this new game should throw all of that location at & inexplicably turn Gotham City into a completely different area, ignoring the large chunk that was present in AC. These aren't actual criticism, they are grasping at straws. Plus the only thing that was on offer was a half hour worth of side missions. If those are great fun (his own words) then I ho...
Judging by a tweet posted in the comments, the Co-CEO of Quantic will be attending E3, I'd have to assume that he wouldn't bother showing up if they didn't have some sort of reveal pending. Paris is a long flight & they should be spending their time developing if they don't plan on releasing any info at E3. I'm guessing a cgi reveal at E3 w/ a proper rollout at Paris Games Week. We all know that Quantic seem to have fun pulling off great CG reveals for their titles
Its also according to what he's measuring "sparse" by…if he's talking in terms of the history of first party content from Sony then its still more than most consoles will ever see. I'm bummed that I won't get to play UC4 this year but I'm not worried in the slightest about being completely lacking in games to play. I'm sure they will start rolling out announcements at E3 fast & heavy, should be a lot of new announcements this year going solely off of the ...
MS set the bar high w/ their Holiday lineups? Ok so Halo MCC actually released in time for the holidays, regardless of its quality…mp undeniably broken. Take that away and what did they have, Forza? Seems to me that Sony is more concerned about the state that their titles release in than the date that they drop, and that is the best route to take. UC4 won't hit in time for the holidays, but when it drops in 2016 I guarantee it'll be in ship shape. The Order missed the holidays but reg...
That awkward moment when all of the MS fanboys are drowned in inner conflict, pulled between never questioning Saint Spencer & trying to find a way to keep the hope alive for another "feather in the cap" (a.k.a bragging rights). Can't wait for all of the "DX12 Secret Sauce" cats to start spinning this as some huge conspiracy that will still pan out to be absolutely true.
I'm just glad that they aren't pushing "targets" and are seemingly actually showing footage that'll be indicative of the final game. That alone shows that the devs are confident in the game they have rather than the game they wish they could make. Makes me think that the world will be huge & detailed and that little things like that dog A.I. should be mind-blowing. Definitely the best dog behavior I've ever seen in a game and that alone makes it a must for me! Su...
